Welcome to the Training Team’s onboarding guide for new contributors interested in content translation related tasks in the team!
Your first contribution!
Let us walk you through making your first contribution to the Training Team as an content translator!
Does content already exist in your locale?
If content already exists in your locale, then reviewing that piece of content is an excellent first contribution to the team! Here are the steps to find and review existing content in your locale.
- Open the team’s list of locale labels in GitHub.
- Do you see your language’s label?
- If YES, then move to the next step.
- If NO, then you are the first contributor to translate something into that locale! Skip the rest of these steps and move to the next section below.
- Click on the label for your locale. These are the colorful ovals you’ll see to the left of the page.
- On the following screen, click on
Closed. This will show a list of issues that were used to create now-published content in your locale.
- Now, you will see a list of GitHub issues, each corresponding to a published piece of content. Click on any of those GitHub issue.
- Read through the comments of the issue. This will give you an idea of how a piece of content is translated in the Training Team.
- Once you’re ready, click on the link to the published piece of content. You’ll generally find this in the final comments on the issue.
- Now that you’ve found a piece of content to review, you can follow our Guidelines for reviewing content to conduct a review.
- Follow the steps under Are you reviewing content after it is published? to submit your findings.
Remember, any feedback you have about the content is welcome. Thank you for reviewing!
